Hey tats just gonna squat here for a turn don't mind me.

In a way that helps me out, any reason you want to park a ship there?

We need to discuss my withdrawal from Abyz/Fria, I was going to move them this round, when would be good for you?

That ship prevents Morgoth from making moves on my homeworld, I think, I still need to plan ahead again. I was going to build a fleet in my home system but I wanted to move the destroyer first. Any clue to what you are planning?

I build long lasting, intergalactic friendships. But do they call me friendship virus?

I build happy democratic utopia. But do they call me democracy virus?

I make popular nekro porn. But do they call me porn virus?

No.

I take one homeworld and I am Homeworld Virus.

Ha ha ha, it is because you have my PN, anyone else is less scary. I'd ask for it back for my Trade PN. Thoughts?

It's my insurance against an inconvenient wormhole near Mordai II, so no. But I have no designs on your home. You're too far away. My fleet would be stuck and unable to help in case of catastrophic failures closer to home.

Morgoth seem as you're around, what is the benefit of people adding to their strategic piles now when only 1 strategy is left. Hmm, maybe two with politics being one.

Leadership gone, diplomacy gone, construction gone, trade gone, warfare gone, imperial gone.

That leaves politics, technology and logistics.

Tapper has politics so can only use the 2 tokens he has left on technology and logistics.

IH will probably want politics even though he has 10 action cards already and technology

You however put 4 on strategy? There's no way you can use them?? Wouldn't it have been better to put them elsewhere?

Yep, it would have. But I was short on time and couldn't pay proper attention

Also, it's not much of an issue for me seeing as I can grab another three from technology.

.. They don't call me Poetry Virus either.

For me it's preparation for next turn and to be in a decent position if the 6 CT public objective comes up.

Is there a place to see all the public objectives? I haven't looked at them once, silly me, there's a lot I haven't done because its first game

[Tattersail_]

Wow IH you are preparing for 6 CT's, also you are preparing for conquering the weak aren't you? I have just seen that one! In fact, looking through them, most are impossible for me.

Master the sciences - Twelve can complete that straight away.

Spend 16 resources, tough to do.

Control 11 planets, impossible for anyone.

Conquer the weak, Morgoth can do that one already, and IH is primed as well.

Control 5 tech planets, very tough as they are all spread. Tapper is in a good position for that.

Spend 10 TG's, IH is close to that right now, Blend can hit that, not sure on Nico as his post doesn't include the nitty gritty.

6 planets with same trait is tough

6 command tokens is also tough

16 influence is very tough

Looking through that I'd say you are in the best position to win IH. Twelve is in a good position if that tech one comes out and he gets his homeworld back.

Yet you have numerous possibilities IH, I applaud that so much. Well done.

[Imperial Historian]

Trying to get in a good position but think it's probably too late, gnaw,morgoth, khell and twelve will all most likely be able to hit 11 in the next two rounds and that would be a challenge for me. My best hope is that another few objectives which are hard to do come up.

[Tattersail_]

They are quite far ahead at the moment. You, Tapper and myself could be late comers, but it may be too little too late.

I've just realised quite how much firepower is in zohbat now. Now that is a fleet. Surprised there aren't more infantry though, morgoth could just not send his infantry swarms into space and quite happily hold those planets for as long as he wants.

It is some fleet but the majority of it has to take his homeworld back next turn. Is Everra free of ships now? What's to stop someone putting a ship in Everra and forcing Twelve to research Lightwave Deflectors

Evera is a nebula so any ships that move there stop.

So he will have to research Anti-mass Deflectors and LWD to go through Asteroid field? I honestly do not know how he is going to take back his homeworld this turn or next. Anyone enlighten me?

He knows what he is doing I suppose.

[Imperial Historian]

He already has asteroid deflectors so will probably grab light wave deflectors too.

He has to.

Tapper that may benefit you more than Assault cannons.

[Morgoth]

I don't know I'll be able to play this game when tech is not a question of how best to attack someone for the highest tech reward.

It's a little thing we call X-89. I think that will do the trick.

Yes, no, but. I do not particularly need a Blue tech.

You know it takes an action right? So you would have to activate the system, use x89 as an action and then activate the system again in order to take the planet (and it only affects one planet). I was originally thinking it was amazing, but on reflection it's only good.
